HUGE step. Always love and support from the whole team here - LS

Oh thank god. I thought you were going to say you started using Windows.

This is the most roundabout way of saying you use arch

A story that I heard recently: So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think. He said "Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn't work for you anymore, you're not obligated to keep it." and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.

Don't under value yourself. You've been a pillar of LTT.

Now we transition into our segue to our sponsor.

wait this is 10 months old? 💀

Linus Transition Tips

>uses arch Linux once

you had a massive role in LOTS of LTT vids. i really remember the Xtra-PC video of yours and a ton of Linux-related stuff that inspired me. thanks for teaching me all this stuff. hope everything's alright.

You know, I follow LinusTechTips channel because of you. I was impressed by how well you explained things and your kind and smiling face. I remember well a video clip where you suggested that We shouldn't blow the Nes cartridge.

*installs Linux once*

Congrats Emily 🎉 we're all behind you! Looking forward to more technical LTT uploads ♥

Your average Linux user

Please come back!! We love any and all content you're a part of. It's most of the reason I watch LTT videos. Thank you for what you've done in the past and hope to see more in the future.

Now a word from our sponsors, Manscaped

No fucking way how am i just finding this

Keep making videos. I like your calm voice and your knowledge.

Ya know, I had wondered where you had gone. After a while I just noticed that you were not hosting videos. I had assumed that maybe you left the team or moved into a different role, or perhaps health issues. I had to make sure, so I went to LMG's team member page and found your photo was still there, what a relief! Then I noticed the name. Now I had not known about this at all and thought maybe it was a typo, cuz I had forgotten your last name was Young so I figured they put the wrong name beneath you. After some more research, I have found this video. I just wanna say you've been missed by me and I am sure many others. Take your time, but I do hope the day does come that you're back to hosting videos. I'm not just saying this to be supportive, I truly mean this: You're my favorite non-Linus personality at LMG. Looking forward to your next appearance. Stay safe and healthy!

The Linux user pipeline

True Linux moment

I was only recently wondering "is Anthony still at LTT?" & the related questions. Then I was watching the "I was never ment to have this prototype CPU" video and they showed you and I was like, "OHHHH! Sweet, they just have been going through some medical and other issues". Glad to hear it's "just" anxiety & you're expertise is still at LTT. Also glad to hear you're out, and back on the channel! Welcome, Emily. 🥰

Hell, been missin ur vids and had too find ya! Cant w8 till you get back too makin ltt vids!! Much luv em!!

So ... when is the HRT overclocking video coming?

I feel stupid because I'm reading the comments and I thought Linux was the hormone trans women used to transition.

Just now finding this video. Saw you in a video today and was like where the hell have you been?! Hope you are happy and doing well.

I can't believe I never knew about this, 10+ months holly cow

peak arch linux user

"Arch linux user" is now also a HRT user

I had wondered where the consise and easily digestable information had vanished from lmg videos. Glad to see you back infront of the camera. Life is a journey not a race to a destination, I wish you safe and peacefull travels.

Love the way you put it, "true to themselves and aren't harming others"

Thank God, I thought you started using windows

Hey, I was going to mention you on a video on LTT to ask for you to take a look at a cheap laptop and breath new life with some Linux, but then I realized I hadn't seen you in the channel for a long while, and wondered if you were still there, a quick google led me to this and I'm glad I found it so I could correct my comment and call you Emily on the comment. I have no idea how hard this must be for you, and while my words might not mean anything me being just a random on the internet but I'm happy that you found yourself, no one deserves having to pretend to be someone they're not, and I'm glad to see most if not all in the comments here, on the forum and on reddit are also supportive. Your videos have always been great and I hope to see you back again on the channel soon, we the linux geek miss you.

Missed you appearing LTT videos, just done Google search to find out why you missing and found this video. Do what best for you and wish you all the best.

So happy to hear youre still with LMG! I was worried there a little. You are absolutely one of the core elements of what makes LMG so great. I am so happy for you. 😊

At least we're not speaking German..... right guys???

linus tuck tips

wow, i was thinking i missed you leaving LMG, thank god you didnt, your knowledge i truly valuable. Took a lot of courage to come out like this. I hope for you that you can now get some ease of mind and continue to evey now and then host a video, i for one loved seeing the vids hosted by you.

Love your work, on-screen and off. Looking forward to more. Be safe and well.

You are one of the most expert individual about Linux on the web, I encourage you to still make your best on Linus Media Group because everytime you show up, you fixed and explained things very well making you a very valuable person. Cheer up, Emily!

This is what happens when you use Linux

I haven't been tuned into LMG much over the last year or so -- so when I saw the recent video and heard that Emily had set up the computer, I got a bit confused... Found this video after a Google search because I wasn't too sure if who I was seeing was you, I noticed you're looking healthier and possibly happier. You have been one of my favourite staff members from LMG to tune into. From your reviews to your tinkering videos, playing around with Linux, your technical skills and passion always drew me to your videos. I always wished there was more videos featuring you, and that slowly started happening. It's nearly been a year since you posted this video, kudos to you Emily, you're so strong to have come out about this and as a fan I've got to say I'm proud of you.

It just occurred to me while scrolling KZfaq I hadn't seen anything from you recently so I went to Google. . I'm glad you are just on vacation and hope things go as well as possible. You got this. And we'll be glad when you're back.

I always thought you where awesome. Nothing has changed. Best of luck x

Jesus, i got scared for a second that you changed distro. In all seriouness, congrats ! You are great !

I was so confused to see so many Emily comments in the PC build, i was so lost 😂. I'm glad you feel confident to come on camera, i missed you so much Emily !!! Keep up your good work 😊 and try and ignore dumb comments, we, the real fans of you like the person behind and the entertainment you bring us. Also don't feel like you are nothing but a Linus shadow, you being part of his platform is nothing but a statement of how great of a work you have been able to give us, and LTT and Linus is lucky to have you, it's your commitment, passion and work what has allowed us to get to know you and your way to present whatever you're doing in LTT. I just wanted to share a few words even though im late asf. Sorry for the broken english, im not a very good speaker, but i meant to send some good vibes and just remind you that is YOU what we like at LTT, and not that is like you aint got nothing interesting but have the luck of working there, anyways. Huge amounts of love Emily!!! ❤ waiting for more videos with you innit !!!

*installs arch*

whether you are emily or anthony, your knowledge and expertise is always valued, and just remember that you are valued for who you are as a person, this doesn't change the reason why I've always been a fan, and remain a fan of yours. it's not because of your identity, or "politics", but because of who you *are*, don't let anyone tell you otherwise! keep being yourself, and I hope you are more comfortable in your own skin going forward!

What linux does to a mfer

Hi, I liked the video when I first saw you. And now I still like you. You are you and nothing changed. It's good that you stopped to hide your identity. I have huge respect of you and I'm looking forward to see you again in videos. Take care Emily! 👋

I’ve just watch you being back on camera on LTT channel and haven’t watch this jet. I’m so happy to see you on camera again, hope you’re happy too.

You will never escape the fact that you're Canadian bub, no matter how hard you try.

Massive step! Just like others here I just came from the Gaming on Mac video and I had no idea about your transition, I wish you the best of luck and hope that you feel much better now than hiding behind a fake persona that isn't you. Love to see you back on camera but obviously take your time and take the steps YOU want to take rather than what anyone else might suggest! Take care :D

I found this by searching to see what video's you'd done recently. You were the only person at LTT who I tuned in to see and I think there are many others like me. If someone suddenly has a different opinion, then they are a trash human and not worth anyone's time. You are you and that's all that matters. I hate that you even have to say all this... or worry about targets being put on anyone... it's insane. You being the genuine version of you is amazing. So cheers to all this! Cheers Emily. - Logan

Oh wow I found this video because I googled you because I hadn't seen you in any LTT videos lately and thought you might be doing something else now. I hope you eventually find the confidence to be in front of the camera again. I always enjoyed your videos. Definitely understandable that you don't want to deal with the h8rs and dumbasses.

Impressive, let's see Paul Allen's card

You scared me for a minute.... I thought you were coming out as a mac user!!!

Been missing your videos , hope to see you come back. Good luck and stay strong

AAAAND HE'S GONE...

Like some other, the new "mac gaming sucks" video brought me here. Welcome and salutations. All your real fans will love you and support you no matter what. I look forward to seeing more videos from you, Emily, as you have always been one of my favorite hosts.

I've watched LTT for a few years now, and you are one of my favorite people on the team. I'm glad that you can be yourself now, and whenever you feel comfortable back on camera I'll be there to watch! It's great that you can be yourself now, and I wish you the most love possible in the next chapter of your life! Have a great vacation, and I know that once you come back to the office it will be just as great as always, love your humor and content so much over on LTT!

So does that mean you started using Macs?

Another video where all the best comments are at the bottom.

Now you've fully completed your transition into a Linux user. Congratulations, sister.

Average Linux user moment

Well thats one of the hardest tasks over and done with. ❤

I was surprised seeing you on LMG and that led me here. Definitely tough going through something so personal as a public figure. Congrats on taking this step, and thanks for being so brave and selfless as to share this part of your journey. Hoping the love you receive outshines the attention from those who are misguided or misunderstand.

When I first saw you on LTT videos I thought that it was awesome that they actually got someone that knows what they are doing.

The only thing im wondering is, how’d you get your hair back?? Im actually curious for then my hair loss begins. Looking great!

honestly like truely honeslty i dont care about gender and did not watch you or want to watch you because you were a guy or not, i really am only interested in your passion for linux and still really want to hear and see more of you on youtube for the subject of gaming and linux. i feel you have a lot of knowledge and would like to hear more no matter you gender.

Wow, it's such a huge step you just did! To say the truth: I first saw you in an LTT video and I just liked you from the beginning onwards. I always thought "What a cool, knowledgeable person. Someone I'd like to have in my friend group."... I began to miss you, did some research and now I just learned the reason. I was a bit scared you might have left LMG but now I know better. Tank you for your courage and openness. We support you and we'll do so in the future. Let me/us know if you need anything. All the best from Germany! You're awesome just the way you are!

Average linux user

I was an Atheist but i will start to go to Church now

Most Canadian thing ever

I seriously hope this won't cause you to stop hosting and appearing in LMG videos. No matter what haters might say, it's your humble, entertaining personality and deep technical knowledge that made you popular with us, your audience. I wish you all the best on this journey!

Well I have to say that I missed seeing you on camera and as an avid viewer of LTT since the NCIX days, I have always enjoyed the videos you were in. Looking forward to when you will be back in front of the camera, of course don't do it because people ask you to, do it when you are ready. And I didn't even know this video was out till now and saw a bit of a cameo on a recent video over on LTT. Glad to see you are happy and have taken time for yourself. Much love Emily!

What arch linux does to a proper mf, you may be gone but you will never be forgotten o7

I was just watching the new Apple video and heard Linus call you Emily and I thought it was the usual LTT joking due to the highlights in your hair, but i have to say, you be you and live your best life. 😊

Saw you today on an LTT video. Been missing you. Glad to meet you Emily. Glad to see you on videos again.

I just happen to see a tweet from you and had to look at older tweets to find this, good to see you are still around. I may not be the most positive guy over Trans people but I'm happy for all of you

you scared me for a second. I thought you started using windows!

King Anthony is gone, long live Queen Emily

AAHH, thaat kind of news, good for you!. I am relieved, thought you were about to say you only use windows.

We support you Emily! ❤

I've always loved your contributions to LTT. I know I can't actually fathom what your going through, but I'm still here whatever you choose to do.

When i first saw the name change and you in some Videos ore some people (LTT) talking about Emily and meant you i really didnt care. Its just Emily now and not Anthony anymore. You do you and you are what u are, we all can just accept it and move on. It changes nothing really for me. I still love the Video u are in and will be in in the future. I support everyone wo goes this big Step. I really find that u kinda did this in the dark ore in the back so u dont hurt the company u work for just shows everyone what a great girl u are and i wish u nothing but the best in your life. You are a big part of LMG and will be forever. A personal Goal would be for me to hug you and wish u nothing but the best because you deserve it but it will maybe never happen so i wrote this. Much Love and Respect.

It was great to see the best buy and April fools videos with you in them! I hope / look foward to having more Emily in LMG videos!

Thank god, I thought you've started using Windows

The haters gonna hate, but you are and will remain the best host at LMG

From what I’ve read in the comments so far, people are supportive of you and so am I. No one should have to live with constant depression & anxiety. I’m happy for you, take your time. Many of us miss you dearly. I hope this message reaches you. You’ve completely changed my perspective on transgender. You have my full support if it means anything at all.

RIP. Only took a year. Never a road worth going down

This changes nothing for me, you will always be one of the smartest people that I watch on this platform. Thank you for everything.

Everyone deserves this chance. We still like you because of your humor and your charakter. That won't change! So don't give up and go your way and you'll getting stronger and the best version of you :) You can do it Emily :)

This is what arch linux do to a mf. This was expected

Life is a crazy and insane experience. There are certainly struggles that Im thankful for not having. But I can guarantee you that depression comes from suppression, a fear of letting things be, among the obvious things that it also is, like a recognition of how all pursuits end with no ultimate gain. I hope you a swift return to whatever normalcy is, just as long as youre in front of a camera talking about your passions again. Just be

Another Transformer

God thanks and I thought you switched to windows. Congrats. Wish you all the best

the consequences of industrial society

Love you Emily! Know that most people look forward to you coming back on the screen.
